A dangerous chill pervaded the desert planet Myrianth as the darkness of night wiped across its nebulous sky. Opaque clouds of frozen mist drifted around, blowing with the wind, and driving people away. But in the area known as Motode City, people should be safe from these dangers as they have homes there.
